Unpacking commitment and exploration: Preliminary validation of an integrative model of late adolescent identity formation

Article Abstract:

A study used confirmatory factor analysis to develop a model of identity formation comprising four structural dimensions, namely Commitment Making, Identification with Commitment, Exploration in Depth, and Exploration in Breadth. The model provided a better fit in a sample of adolescents than did alternative two- and three-dimensional models, thereby validating the unpacking of two well-known blocks of identity formation, that is, commitment and exploration.
